    Truck Batteries

    Thats a good question. I'm hearing there can be issues if you don't have a new regulator put in. I couldn't pin down a good answer so just stuck with regular Lead Acid

    Truck Batteries

    After looking at several places and either not having the right post configuration in and/or only having very expensive batteries, i ended up just going to Batteries and Bulbs . Was somewhat interested in the AGM but a little leery of what is required to change it over.

    2nd rifle season bugle?

    Cow call for sure. Then i dont worry as much about being quiet . Bulls may occasionally bugle that late but you will not get an elk to respond to a bugle. Theoretically possible but ain't happening in the real world . You will just get people

    Truck Batteries

    From what i'm seeing/reading , i'm somewhat inclined to go to a Walmart or O Reilly's, It's likely the same manufacturer and is easily returned since they have locations all over. Unless one steps into the higher end of battery, they are all the same manufacturer so quality is about the same.

    Truck Batteries

    Dows AGM require additional steps/parts if your vehicle has a conventional battery? I read something about Regulator Design?

    Hunt in the rain

    depends on the rain. Its really hard to stay in the tent during hunting season but if its a Torrential downpour... you might as well. IF its just a little water, go hunting. A lot of cool opportunities occur when you are in the woods. Elk are still there.

    Skin on or skin off when field dressing Elk?

    Off. For multiple reasons. IF we are lucky enough to get a truck to it, leave it on until back at camp on the meat pole. But if you are quartering and packing, off immediately. The hide holds in a lot of heat. If you want tasty wildy game, start it cooling down ASAP. Also, leaving the hide...

    Thoughts from the woods and lessons learned over the years

    1. The most dangerous thing in the woods, is a wet stick on a steep hillside 2. The scariest animal in the woods, is the grouse that goes off under your feet when its just getting light out. Sounds like a helicopter taking off. 3. Yes, you should throw in more toilet paper. 4. When in the...

    Fun with 3D Printers

    I have trouble with my Tight Spot interfering with the Fall away arrow rest if I dont off set it a bit. I had cut a piece of kyvex but i like that idea better(and the kyvex isnt thick enough )

    Wyoming Thorofare Elk Questions

    Good points mentioned above, if you want to use a rifle with a larger scope, you may need to provide your own scabbard. Part of it would depend on how you will be hunting. If its just a mater of packing it into a base camp, your regular rifle case may work but would not be practical if you...

    Oregon West Side Roosevelt Elk

    I have a theory that with the thick heavy jungle of the coast range, sound often doesnt travel as far. So you may bugle and not hear their answer. The other thing i think happens is because it is thick and hard to get off the road, 90% of the hunters are bugling from a logging road. Walk in...

    Honda Generator experts

    A lot of good info here... I also need a generator to run my pump when the power goes out. I currently have a briggs and stratton (3500 or 4000 maybe?) but you definitely do not want to load it in the truck to go camping. And it is very loud. Messing with it over the summer is what...

    Honda Generator experts

    You are saying the Champion is quieter than the Honda? Or do you mean that two Hondas running at full output is louder than one Champion?

    Honda Generator experts

    Seems like everyone agrees that Honda is the absolute best way to go with generators... so i think im going to bite the bullet. I have a chance to pick up a couple of used Honda EU 2000i with the companion cord. I know they have now come out with the 2200I but believe the 2000i is probably...

    Processed based hunter education

    Sounds like a good idea depending on the instructor and where its at. Hunting a private ranch or established tree stands could be completely different than a public land, lots of pressure, learning experience.

    Lightning safety while hunting

    PS Camped above Timberline in a tent could be a different story and you need to get lower and not be the lone object to attract the lightning. That's why i mentioned heavy timber down below the ridgeline. I feel pretty safe in heavy timber as long as im not right next to the tallest tree out...
